Finland-China cooperation - 65 years: Tell your story!

In 2015 it is 65 years since Finland and China established diplomatic relations, the exact date being 28 October 1950. Finland was one of the first Western countries to recognize the People's Republic of China. It was also the first country with market economy system to conclude a long-term trade agreement, in 1953, with China.

The governments of Finland and China have decided to celebrate the anniversary by highlighting the long-term bilateral cooperation in the form of events, visits and communications. The Embassy of Finland in Beijing and the Consulate General in Shanghai welcomes Finns and Finnish organizations to tell their story about the collaboration with China in the past, now or in the foreseen future.
